According
to Jewish Tradition, the Mashiach
is born on Tisha B’Av. According
to the RAMBAM, it is the
Mashiach who will lead the Jewish People in the building of the Third Beit
HaMikdash, that is never to be destroyed.
All of the
Prophets prophesied concerning the “Acharit HaYamim,” the
“End-of-Days,” Yeshayahu perhaps most beautifully:
“And it shall
come to pass in the End-of-Days,
That the mountain of the L-rd’s House shall be established
As the tops of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow into it.”
“And many
peoples shall go and say:
’Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the L-rd,
To the house of the G-d of Jacob;
And He will teach us of His ways.’
For out of Zion shall go forth the Law,
And the word of G-d from Jerusalem.”
Yeshayahu (2:2-3)
and also,
“Even them
will I bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer;
Their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices
Shall be acceptable upon My altar;
For My house shall be called
A house of prayer for all peoples.”
Yeshayahu
(56:7)
